BTTS Analysis
BTTSFind matches where both teams are likely to score based on historical data
What is BTTS (both teams to score)?
BTTS is a bet on whether both teams score at least one goal in the match. The result is irrelevant: 1–1 and 4–3 are BTTS yes, 2–0 and 0–0 are BTTS no. In the top European leagues both teams score in roughly 50–55% of matches, so the odds on either side usually hover around 1.70–2.10.
The market is popular because the outcome does not depend on who wins — only on whether both sides can find the net. BTTS analysis therefore rests on different data than 1X2 betting: the weaker team's attacking output and how watertight the favourite's defence is.
How to use the BTTS analysis
Pick a date and the list ranks matches by BTTS probability — computed from the share of matches in which each team both scored and conceded, home and away, from goal averages and from head-to-head history. League and status filters narrow the list and let you review yesterday's games.
Details show how often each team scored and conceded in recent matches, clean-sheet percentages and H2H. The strongest signals are matches between two teams that score in over 80% of their games and rarely keep a clean sheet — regardless of which is the favourite.
When BTTS lands most often
Leagues with high goal averages (Bundesliga, Eredivisie, Scandinavian summer leagues) have BTTS rates well above 55%, while defensive leagues (parts of South America, lower Italian divisions) sit below 45%. Matches between evenly matched mid-table sides end with both scoring more often than favourite-versus-outsider games.
Stakes matter too: late in the season, matches between teams with nothing to play for are open and goal-rich, while relegation battles are tight. The database computes these relationships from finished matches and shows how often a given pairing has produced BTTS in the past.
Frequently asked questions
- Does an own goal count for BTTS?
- Yes — an own goal is credited to the team that benefited, so it counts towards BTTS like any other goal. Goals in extra time and penalty shoot-outs do not count unless the bookmaker's rules explicitly include them.
- What are typical odds on BTTS yes?
- Between two attacking teams the price on "both to score" drops to 1.55–1.70; with a clear favourite and a toothless opponent it rises to 2.10–2.40. Value appears when our probability is clearly higher than the one implied by the odds.
- How does BTTS differ from over 1.5?
- Over 1.5 needs two goals in the match regardless of scorer — 2–0 is enough. BTTS needs both teams to score — 2–0 loses, but 1–1 wins. BTTS is therefore harder in matches with a very clear favourite and easier in even contests.
- What does Premium unlock in BTTS?
- Without an account you see the first matches of the day with their BTTS rate. Premium shows every match with the model probability, each team's scoring and conceding record at home and away, the H2H, and the list for any past day.
